Ansui House | Luxury Vacation Home in Nosara, Costa Rica
Nestled in the tropical dry forest on Costa Rica’s north Pacific coast, Ansui House Nosara by Modus Operandi is a masterpiece that seamlessly integrates nature with architecture. Designed to embrace the unique climatic challenges of the region, the house balances the dry, dusty season and the humid, rainy season with a two-month transitional period.
The curvilinear site, offering breathtaking 180-degree ocean views, influenced a respectful approach to the structure’s placement, ensuring it blends harmoniously into the landscape. Tropical design principles such as natural ventilation and illumination are central to the design, particularly in the ground floor suites. These suites function as independent villas, each with green areas for privacy and natural cooling.
On the second level, light colors and textures create a sense of openness and connection to the vast sea and sky, enhancing the focus on the surrounding environment, from monkeys in the trees to hawks in the sky. Angled wooden slats provide privacy while inviting wind flow, creating an immersive experience with nature.
The design features harmonious proportions using the Golden Ratio, providing a sense of internal alignment and a seamless connection to the natural surroundings. A central tropical Zen garden, anchored by a Ylang Ylang tree, creates a calming pathway from public spaces to private quarters.
Materials such as handmade clay tiles, travertine walkways, and native bamboo overhead evoke a connection to the earth and beach. The double-height staircase promotes vertical and horizontal ventilation, uniting two mini forests and directing breezes throughout the property.
Experience the enchanting blend of nature and architecture at Ansui House Nosara by Modus Operandi, where every detail connects you to the natural beauty of Costa Rica.
